Description Supposing Books The Cask of Amontillado
"The Cask of Amontillado" (sometimes spelled "The Casque of Amontillado") is a short story, written by Edgar Allan Poe and first published in the November 1846 issue of Godey's Lady's Book.The story is set in a nameless Italian city in an unspecified year (possibly sometime during the eighteenth century) and concerns the deadly revenge taken by the narrator on a friend who he claims has insulted him. Like several of Poe's stories, and in keeping with the 19th-century fascination with the subject, the narrative revolves around a person being buried alive – in this case, by immurement.

The Cask of Amontillado by Edgar Allan Poe is a classic tale of revenge. Since there are dozens of posts here, my review will take a particular slant: what German pessimistic philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer has to say about the psychology of revenge and how the revengeful narrator in Poes tale relates to Schopenhauers insights.Schopenhauer says we all suffer as the result of nature or chance but, as humans, we recognizes that is simply the way life works. He then writes, Suffering caused by the
The opening sentence grabs the reader: "The thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could; but when he ventured upon insult, I vowed revenge." It is carnival season and Montressor, the narrator, has purchased a cask of Amontillado that he wants Fortunato to evaluate. He is able to manipulate Fortunato because he is very proud of being a wine connoisseur. Montressor leads him to the place where he will enact his revenge. The atmosphere is cold, damp, dark, and macabre. As they walk
